Arsenal’s leadership in the Premier League is not a surprise, but a great merit of the club’s leadership and Arteta, Gleb believes

Former Arsenal football player Alexander Hleb credits the Londoners’ leadership after the 18th round in the English Premier League (EPL) to the club’s management and head coach Mikel Arteta.

– Judging by the way they play, and what beautiful, productive football they show, they can keep the lead. I did not expect that there would be such a gap, they confidently go first, dominate in almost every game. I would not say that this is a surprise, but it is a great merit of the team management that they entrusted the coach. And the merit of Arteta, he created a great team. Arteta did not start creating a team today, the guys have already fought in previous seasons, gained experience and now it is a perfect match. I’m sure they can hold out until the end of the season, but it’s hard to predict how it will be because English football is unpredictable. But how they go to their goal does not raise any questions that something can change.

Arteta has gained experience, worked with strong specialists, he has his own vision. He initially started working with young players, selecting players for his style and pattern, this gave a result. Well done to the leaders who gave time for this, because in past seasons they played unconvincingly. The next match against Manchester United – if they win, the gap will grow, there will be a six-point match, – Gleb told Metaratings.ru.
